A kidnapping incident unfolded in the municipality of Forest, Belgium, on December 21, 2024, when a young mother was forcibly taken by four individuals.

The assailants abducted the victim and drove off in a van, prompting a police pursuit as they headed towards Bruges.

Police engaged in a chase, attempting to intercept the vehicle as it sped away.

The pursuit ended dramatically when the van lost control while trying to overtake another car on a curve.

In the chaos, the van crashed into a streetlight pole and another vehicle before ending up in a ditch.

Concerns arose during the incident as the van reportedly lacked a back seat, forcing the victim to be placed in the trunk without a seatbelt, alongside some of the kidnappers.
